This shot just begs for the what I like what I don't like treatment so that's how we're gonna go...

What I like: I love the little girls facial expressions! I don't know if she's hammin' it up for the camera or if she's having a ball playing with Dad(?) but it works very well. Love Dad's look of adoration. Love the natural poses of the two subjects. This takes what would normally be considered a snapshot up a level with the emotions portrayed.

What I don't like: Your notes say that this was taken around 11 AM. This is a very difficult time to shoot a shot like this because of the naturally high contrast lighting. You can see this here with the very bright lawn just behind the subjects. This bright spot in an otherwise dully toned shot is very distracting and pulls the eye away. The overall tonality of the shot is also a little dull. There are a couple of ways this could be fixed. The first thing I would try would be to burn the highlights on the lawn. This would make the overall contrast a little dull but this could then be fixed with levels. Levels would also make her dress and his shirt a little brighter which I believe would be an improvement. Another thing that could be attempted would be using the flash to bring in a little fill light. I know this is a bit counter intuitive on a brightly lit day like this but this is a great use for even on board flash.

Overall this is a neat shot. I believe that improving the contrast and taking out the hotter spot in the lawn would improve this a lot.

Hope this helps
